the only possibility at this point. (Cam timing,

13. Checks for voltage at the ignition feed circuit.
18. Whenever the driver circuit is shorted to ground,
the light will be on steady. When the driver circuit is
shorted to voltage or open, the light will be off.19. Since voltage is supplied to the fuel injector on a
single circuit, the malfunction could only be a poor
connection or open in the fuel injector harness. An
open before the harness would result in an ”Engine

28. Before replacing the ECM, check terminals for im-
proper mating, broken locks, or physical damage to
the wiring harness. The replacement ECM must be
programmed. Refer to the latest Techline procedure
for ECM reprogramming.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0325
KNOCK SENSOR INTERNAL MALFUNCTION
System Description
The Knock Sensor (KS) system is used to detect engine
detonation, allowing the Engine Control Module (ECM) to
retard the ignition control spark timing based on the KS
signal being received. The KS produces an AC signal so
that under a no–knock condition the signal on the KS cir-
cuit measures about 0.007 volts AC. The KS signal’s am-
plitude and frequency depend upon the amount of knock
being experienced. The ECM contains a nonreplaceable
knock filter module called a Digitally Controlled Signal–to–
Noise Enhancement Filter (DSNEF) module. This filter
module in the ECM determines whether or not knock is oc-
curring by comparing the signal level on the KS circuit with
the voltage level on the noise channel. The noise channel
allows the ECM to reject any false knock signal by knowing
the amount of normal engine mechanical noise present.
Normal engine noise varies depending on engine speed
and load. When the ECM determines that an abnormally
low noise channel voltage level is being experienced,
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0325 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S DSNEF A/D reading is less than 1.0% or greater
than 80% any of the 4 cylinders.
S Vacuum is less than the predetermined value (10 to
50 kPa, based on rpm).
S The rpm is greater than 1600.
S DTC(s) P0106, P0107, P0108 are not set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will not illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Failure Records buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTCS A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
Check and correct any abnormal engine noise before us-
ing the diagnostic table.
Any circuitry, that is suspected as causing the complaint,
should be thoroughly checked for the following conditions:
S Backed–out terminals
S Improper mating
S Broken locks
S Improperly formed
S Damaged terminals
S Poor terminal–to–wire connection
S Physical damage to the wiring harness
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diag-
nostic Table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
2. If the conditions for the test as described above are
met, a DTC P0325 will set and MIL will illuminate.
4. If the engine has an internal knock or audible noise
that causes a knocking type noise on the engine
block, the knock sensor may be responding to the
noise.
6. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed.
Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM re-
programming.

being experienced. The ECM monitors the KS signal and
can diagnose the KS and circuitry.

than 0.4%.
S Vacuum is less than the predetermined value (10 to

IGNITION CONTROL CIRCUIT A FAULT (CYLINDER 1 & 4)
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) provides a ground for
the electronic spark timing A circuit. When the ECM re-
moves the ground path of the ignition primary coil, the
magnetic field produced by the coil collapses. The collaps-
ing magnetic field produces a voltage in the secondary coil
which fires the spark plug.
The circuit between the ECM and the electronic ignition
system ignition coil is monitored for an open circuit, short
to voltage, and short to ground. When the ECM detects a
problem in the electronic spark timing A circuit, it will set
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0351.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Monitor fault feedback signal.
S Ignition ON.
S Fault flag increments fail count.
S Must receive more than 200 failures within 255 test
cycles.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S Low speed coolant fan turns on.
S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed–through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the
insulation. Check for:
S Poor connection – Inspect the ECM harness and
connectors for improper mating, broken locks, im-
properly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal–towire connection.
